|
Experimentell: Qigong Balance
|
Quigong Balance Exercises 3 times per week for 60 minutes per session Open the Flow: Focus on fluid arm movements to enhance relaxation and improve circulation. Shaking Exercise: A full-body shake to release tension and promote energy flow. Lifting the Ball: Alternating arm movements simulating lifting a ball to improve upper body strength and coordination. Playing with Water: Slow, flowing movements that enhance balance and mindfulness. Weight Shifting and Balance Exercises: Stand with feet hip-width apart, shifting weight slowly from one leg to the other, holding each position for 10-15 seconds to engage stabilizing muscles in the legs and improve proprioception. Leg Lifts and Extensions: Perform controlled leg lifts (front, side, and back) to strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip abductors. |
|
Aktiv komparator: Otago Balance
|
Otago (Strengthening) Balance: Sit-to-stand exercises: to improve leg strength. Heel raises: to enhance calf strength. Toe stands: for improving foot stability. Balance Training: Single-leg stands: to enhance balance. Tandem walking: along a straight line. Side leg raises: to strengthen hip muscles 3 times per week for 60 minutes per session |

Tidsram |
|---|---|---|
|
Agility T-Test
Tidsram: 12th week
|
The Agility T-Test is a performance-based assessment that measures an individual's agility and ability to change direction quickly.
It involves a sequence where the participant runs to a designated point, makes sharp turns around markers in a T-shaped layout, and returns to the starting position.

Berg Balance Scale
Tidsram: 12th week
|
is the gold standard test for static and dynamic balance abilities.
The BBS is used to measure ability to maintain balance while doing functional task search as reach, standing position and transferences.
It is a valid instrument used for the evaluation of effectiveness of interventions with quantitative description of function in clinical practice as well as research.
It consists of 14 items including simple balance tasks from everyday life.

12th week
|
|
Functional Reach Test
Tidsram: 12th week
|
FRT is a single item test for dynamic balance and acts as a quick screen for balance problems in older adults.
The distance between the lengths of an outstretched arm in a maximal forward reach, while maintaining a fixed base of support is measured.
A score of 6 inches or less indicates a significant increased risk for falls.
A score between 6-10 inches indicates a moderate risk for falls.
the Functional Reach Test (FRT) demonstrates an ICC of approximately 0.85 to 0.94
|
12th week
|
|
Gait Speed Test
Tidsram: 12th week
|
The Gait Speed Test measures the time it takes for an individual to walk a specific distance, usually 10 meters, at their usual pace.
It has demonstrated strong validity and reliability, with an Intra class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) often exceeding 0.90
|
12th week
|
|
10-Meter Walk Test
Tidsram: 12th week
|
The 10-Meter Walk Test involves timing a participant as they walk a distance of 10 meters at their comfortable pace.
It assesses gait speed, which is an important indicator of mobility and overall functional ability.
